The morning after he turned in his final college assignment, UK Basketball walk-on Riley Welch had a conversation with Matt Jones and the KSR radio show about Welch’s two seasons with the Wildcats.
Welch joined the show to share his memories and firsthand account of Kentucky Basketball from 2019-2021, two of the hardest years in the program’s history with the abrupt ending to one season due to the COVID pandemic, then the worst record in school history in the other. Off the court, Welch lost two UK teammates in a span of four months with the tragic deaths of Ben Jordan and Terrence Clarke earlier this year.
